3. General Information and Mandatory Information
Privacy
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various types of personal data may be processed. Personal data means information that can be used to personally identify you.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect or process, for what purposes, and on what legal basis such processing takes place.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet, for example when communicating by email, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

WK-MedTec GmbH
Nordring 27a
D-31675 Bückeburg
Germany
Telephone: +49 5722 28698964
Email: info@wk-medtec.de
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses, or telephone numbers.
Data Retention
Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies.
If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless there are other legally permissible reasons for retaining it.
Such reasons may include statutory retention obligations under tax or commercial law. In such cases, deletion will take place after these obligations cease to apply.
Transfers of Data to Third Countries
For the technical provision of our website, we use services provided by companies that may process personal data outside the European Union or European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred to a third country, such transfer will take place only in accordance with the applicable requirements of Articles 44 et seq. GDPR.
When using Webflow, personal data may in particular be processed in the United States. Webflow states that it uses appropriate safeguards and transfer mechanisms for transfers from the European Economic Area, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses.
Additional information regarding transfers to third countries is provided in the respective sections of this Privacy Policy.
Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing activities are permitted only with your explicit consent.
You may withdraw consent that you have already provided at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal remains unaffected.
Where consent has been provided through our consent management system, you can access and modify or withdraw your choices at any time using the “Cookie Settings” function.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Circumstances and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
If the processing of your personal data is based on article 6(1)(e) or 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under article 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.
This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request that such data be transmitted to another controller.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
SSL/TLS Encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon displayed in your browser.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, data that you transmit to us cannot be easily read by third parties.
Access, Deletion, and Correction
Subject to applicable law, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purposes of processing.
You may also have the right to request correction or deletion of such data.
If you have questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right, under the conditions provided by applicable law, to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
This right applies in particular in the following circumstances:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
- If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require the data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. While it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
4. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and generally do not cause any harm. They may be stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies).
Session cookies are automatically deleted when you end your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies and similar technologies may serve different purposes. Some are technically necessary to provide certain website functions. Others may be used, for example, to analyze user behavior or provide additional functionality.
Where the storage of information on or access to information already stored on your device requires consent under Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TDDDG), we obtain such consent before the relevant processing takes place.
Under Section 25(2) TDDDG, storage of information or access to information already stored on your device may be permitted without consent where it is strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by you.
Where personal data is processed in connection with technically necessary technologies, the processing may, where the legal requirements are met, be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where consent is required and has been requested, the relevant processing is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Consent Management with iubenda
Our website uses the consent management technology provided by iubenda to obtain, manage, and, where required, document consent for the storage of certain cookies and the use of certain technologies.
In this context, technical information and information regarding your consent decisions may be processed.
The consent management system is used in particular to obtain, manage, and document legally required consents.
Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Where processing is based on a legitimate interest, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where iubenda is used to collect and store evidence of consent, information regarding your consent decision and the legal notices presented to you at the time of consent may be stored.
You can access and change or withdraw your consent choices at any time using the “Cookie Settings” function.
Additional information about data processing by iubenda can be found in the provider's privacy information.

Our website provides a contact form.
When you contact us through the contact form, the information you enter will be processed. The form currently collects, in particular:
- First name
- Last name
- Email address
- Telephone number
- Inquiry or product interest
- Message
The processing is carried out for the purpose of handling your inquiry, contacting you, and, where applicable, taking pre-contractual measures.
The processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to take pre-contractual steps.
In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or, where consent has been requested, on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The information submitted through the contact form is technically processed through Webflow. Webflow may store and manage form submissions as part of its services.
Where Webflow processes such information on our behalf as a processor, the processing is based on an appropriate data processing agreement.
The information submitted through the contact form will remain with us and our service providers until the purpose of processing no longer applies, you request deletion, or you withdraw your consent, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
Contact by Email or Telephone
When you contact us by email or telephone, your inquiry, including any personal data resulting from it, such as your name, contact details, and the content of your inquiry, will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request.
The processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to take pre-contractual steps.
In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, where consent has been requested.
The data you provide will remain with us until the purpose of processing no longer applies, you request deletion, or you withdraw your consent, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
5. External Links and Third-Party Content
Our website contains links to external websites and online services operated by third parties, including links to social media platforms, or mapping and navigation services.
When you click on an external link, you leave our website. The respective provider is generally responsible for the processing of personal data on the website or platform you subsequently visit.
We have no influence over the data processing practices of these external providers. Please therefore review the privacy information provided by the respective provider.
The mere provision of an external link generally does not cause a connection to the respective third-party provider to be established simply by visiting our website.
6. No Current Use of Google Analytics, Google DoubleClick, or Embedded YouTube Videos
Based on the currently publicly identifiable technical structure of our website, we currently do not use Google Analytics or Google DoubleClick functions for analytics or advertising purposes as part of our website.
Likewise, we currently do not embed YouTube videos directly into our website. The website contains only external links to our social media profiles and/or YouTube.
If analytics, marketing, video, or other third-party services are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly. Where required by law, such technologies will only be activated after obtaining prior consent.
7. Updates and Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy to ensure that it remains compliant with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services or the technical implementation of our website.
The current version of this Privacy Policy applies whenever you revisit our website.
